Academic activities resumed yesterday in private and public schools in Ekiti State, following security scare over alleged plan by the 19 All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers to resume legislative business.
The schools were to resume on Monday.
A visit to some schools by our reporter yesterday showed that lessons were going on.
In many private schools, parents were seen bringing their wards; some of them were sorting out payment of school fees.
School buses operated their shuttle service to convey pupils, who were waiting at various bus stops.
Teachers and pupils expressed their delight in beginning the new term.
In public secondary schools, some SS3 pupils were writing their West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
For the second day running, supporters of Governor Ayo Fayose came to the vicinity of the House of Assembly complex “waiting” for the APC lawmakers.
But the number of the People Democratic Party (PDP) members and sympathisers had thinned down, unlike the huge attendance on Monday.
Although they were not allowed near the parliamentary chambers by stern-looking security operatives, many of them still loitered around the vicinity.
Some people suspected to be thugs hid inside the bush around the Assembly wielding weapons and smoking marijuana.
Civil servants, many of who stayed away from work on Monday, reported for work yesterday.
Activities were going on at Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) throughout the day but the Monday incident formed the topic of discussion among civil servants.
